Tokusatsu (特撮?) is a Japanese term that describes any live-action film or television drama that usually features superheroes and makes considerable use of special effects (tokusatsu literally translates as "special effects").

Tokusatsu entertainment often deals with science fiction, fantasy, or horror, but movies and television shows in other genres can sometimes be classified as tokusatsu as well. The most popular types of tokusatsu are kaiju monster movies (the Godzilla and Gamera film series), superhero TV serials (the Kamen Rider and Metal Hero Series), and mecha dramas (Giant Robo). Some tokusatsu television programs combine several of these subgenres (the Ultraman and Super Sentai series). Tokusatsu is one of the most popular forms of Japanese entertainment, but most tokusatsu movies and television programs are not widely known outside Asia.

Tokusatsu-influenced productions outside Japan

Tokusatsu technique has spread outside Japan due to the popularity of the Godzilla films. In 1961, England made its own Godzilla-style film, Gorgo, which used the same suitmation technique as the Godzilla films. That same year, Saga Studios in Denmark made another Godzilla-style giant monster film, Reptilicus, bringing its monster to life using a marionette on a miniature set. In 1967, South Korea produced its own kaiju movie titled Taekoesu Yonggary. In 1975, Shaw Brothers produced a superhero film called The Super Inframan, based on the huge success of Ultraman and Kamen Rider there. The film starred Danny Lee in the title role. Although there were several other similar superhero productions in Hong Kong, The Super Inframan is the first. With help from Japanese SPFX artists under Sadamasa Arikawa, they also produced a Japanese-styled monster movie, The Mighty Peking Man, in 1977. In 2001, Buki X-1 Productions, a French fan-based production company, produced its own series, Jushi Sentai France Five (now called Shin Kenjushi France Five), a tribute to Toei's long running Super Sentai series. In 2004, Peter Tatara (with his company Experimental Amateur Hero Productions) produced a low-budget superhero video series called Johnny Robo, which is a tribute/deconstruction/parody of Kamen Rider and the Henshin Hero genre. The low-budget television series Kaiju Big Battel directly parodies kaiju and Kyodai Hero films and series by immersing their own costumed characters in professional wrestling matches among cardboard buildings. In 2006, the South Korean series Erexion premiered as a "children's special effects drama;" its style is reminiscent of tokusatsu techniques. In 2006, Mighty Moshin' Emo Rangers premiered on the internet as a Power Rangers spoof, but was quickly picked up by MTV UK for broadcast. In 2006, Insector Sun, a low-budget tribute to Kamen Rider was produced by Brazilian fans. In addition, a Thai Sentai-style series Sport Ranger began broadcasting on August 2006. Chinese television started broadcasting Armor Hero (铠甲勇士 pinyin: Kǎi Jiǎ Yǒng Shì) in 2009 which calls itself "Chinese Original Tokusatsu".

MY HYPOCRISY DOESN'T WORK ON HOLIDAYS
FAKE SMILES, SHALLOW WORDS
APPEAR TO ME IN A COUPLE MONTHS
IT'S A SPECIAL DAY, LET'S PRETEND TO BE FRIENDS
YOUR MEANINGLESS COMPASSION I'LL NEVER STAND
I WON'T TRY TO FIX MY BONDS
A STUPID TODAY WILL BE WHOLE YEAR LONG
DON'T WISH HAPPY HOLIDAYS
IF YOU DON'T LOOK AT ME ON A SIMPLE TUESDAY

THE CURSE OF THE GOLDEN AXE
HEAT OF THE BATTLE
EYES OF THE BEAST
WATCH BASTARDS, PANIC! LOOKING FOR SOME HELP!
APOCALYPSE, NOW THE EARTH TURNS TO HELL
A HEART PULSING ON THE GROUND!
GROUND SHAKING METAL, SKULL'S CRUSHING FISTS
THIS IS THE CURSE OF THE GOLDEN AXE

WHAT KINDA MONSTER WE'LL FACE TODAY?
VIOLENCE IS FEAR, IT LEADS YOU TO DEATH
INNOCENT PEOPLE LOOSE THEIR LIVES
TRAPPED INSIDE - I DON'T WANNA GO OUTSIDE
TRAPPED INSIDE MY OWN HOUSE
BARS IN EVERY WINDOW
I DON'T WANNA GO OUT
I DON'T WANNA GO OUTSIDE

THE HERO IS DEAD
YOUR HERO IS DEAD
LAY DOWN ON THE GROUND!
NOW THINK ABOUT IT - WHAT DID YOU DO?
YOUR PAST IS EMPTY AND YOUR FUTURE IS DEAD!

THE NATURE STRIKES BACK
EXTREME FORCES READY TO KILL

IT'S TIME FOR NATURE STRIKES BACK
NOW YOU CRY
AND THE ANIMALS LAUGH
HUMAN PIECES EVERYWHERE!

No monster can destroy humanity's desire for freedom. Our desire for freedom.

O ELASTICDEATH foi criado apenas para um propósito: Vingança. Depois de presenciar o massacre dos membros de suas bandas anteriores, três jovens cheios de ódio e rancor, mas com um nobre e sagaz sentimento de justiça decidiram se juntar e resolver suas rixas da melhor maneira possível: Violentamente. Cósmicos poderes da Nebulosa M78, riffs brutais da Califórnia, indo direto e sem piedade em sua direção. You won't stay alive.

LEARN SOMETHING NEW. THE WORLD IS SO EVIL THAT EVERYTHING GOES DOWN IN A MINUTE. WE START TO UNBELIEVE IN THIS WORLD. OF COURSE, WE DON'T GIVE UP. IF PEOPLE GIVE UP ON THINGS, THE WORLD WILL BE DEAD. DON'T GIVE UP. OR ELSE MONSTERS WILL RULE THE EARTH!
